THE FINE MORXING. : AN ADDRESs TO CELIA, ~IOW Jweet is the breath of the morn, On the wing of the fofl fanning breezz ; How frefh are the dew dreps that fit On the leawes of the fliw waving trees. The blufb that empurples the eaf?, How modeff and cbarming a die ; The boaw in the clouds fades away, But morn’s rosy light gilds the soy. The awarblers begin their loud songs, Tbe growves all resound awith their notes ; Hoaw faveet is the mufick they chant, As foft in the breezes it floats, My Celia ! awake, and behold The morning so tranquil and fair ; Retire to the foot of yon bill, And breatbe the Jalubrious air. There gently meanders a fiream, Midfp Flora’s delightful perfumes ; The lilly adorns its green Lanks, And there :he wild rose javeetly blooms. The tall elm, majefic and fair, Hangs ouer the chryflaline fiream Obferwve its dark form on the wawe, Ere Sol bhas rekindled bis beam. Laura. SONG: LOVE and AFFECTION. "VHE N youth mature ro mankood greaw, Soon beauty touch’d my heart ; From cwein to wein love’s light’ning’s flew, Witk plea_/ing, painjful smart : My boson dear content forfook, And foorh’d the foft dejeltion 3 T e melting eye, the [peaking look, Prov’d love and jweet affeition. Unus’d to arts avhich awin the fair, What could a shepherd do ? And to submit to fad despair, Was not the way to awoo. At length I told the lovely maid, 1 bop’d she’d no objeition o ralk (while round ber lambkins play’d) Of leve and faweet affeition. A blufp my Chloe’s cheek bedeck’d, A blufl devoid of guile, ¥ Sud wwkhat from me, can you expel? 277 - She anfwer’d awith a smile. “¢ Howw many nymphs bave been betray’d, * Through want of calm refleition ? © Then don’t my peace of mind invade S With love and jweet affeldion.” Dear maid, 1 cry’d, miffruft me not, In wedlock’s bands let’s join My kids, my kine, my herds, my cot, My joul itfelf is thine. Lo church 1 led the charming Sair, To Hymen’s kind proteion ; And now li/2’s deareff joys ave fbare Witk lrve and fweer affeldion, ““« BE JUST 4AND FEAR NOT,” S as excellent 2 maxim as ever offered I consolation to the breast of re&itude. la our career of life, we find experience continually shewing to us, that to deal Justly, and to att fairly, are the only ways to acquire the good things of this world, and to obtain that peace of mind, which, superior to the little ills with which a vicious world is filled, can smile on the aveat phalanx, and d:fy its force. To what but the innate evidence of this truth, can we attribute the sayings and feelings of chil dren, refpeiog right conduét ?—They early have imprefled upon them an idea, that defrauding even in play, will not be prosperous : As mankind have advanced in life, they have invariably seen, that the goods obtained, even by way-ward methods, which are not either illegal, or in the eyes of the world, disreputable, have suddenly diflipated, and scarce left _ a benefit behind them ; whilst the pro perty acquired by honest industry, fru gality and attention, has proved its stabi lity by the blessings it hath entailed, and of the profpe& of transmitting it, unim paired, to posterity. The means used, the pains taken, and the plans projeéted, to secure an unfair advantage, very often cost more labour and more study, than would be neceflary to acquire double as much in a reputable and honest manner. See the ingenuity exercised by those who are the objelts of legal punithment.— Oblerve, with what mechanical art and almost fcientific genius, they will con ftrut machines, and devise plans, for wronging society, and robbing other peo ple of their honestly acquired property. Half the talents exercised in a reputable ‘way, would secure them honor and for tune ; instead of which, poverty always haunts, and disgrace is sure to overtake them. The evidences of these truths are continually to be seen : And as the firft impreflions made on the minds ¢f youth are favourable ; it must be attributed to unaccountable inattention, that they are so little regarded ; or that injustice, fraud and over-reaching are not banished from the world.<=—
